The 2020 Census reveals changes to U.S. demographics.

The federal government has counted the Native American population in various ways throughout the years. Recent data shows how the demographic is growing.

Between 2000 and 2018, the number of American residents who were at least partially Native American increased 39%, according to the US Census Bureau.

The estimated 5.7 million Americans in 2018 – 1.6 million more than 2000 – identifying with “American Indian or Alaska Native” racial backgrounds represent less than 2% of the total national population. That share was double the Native American group’s share in 2000.

Most troubling of all, perhaps, was a sentiment the expert said a member of Kushner’s team expressed: that because the virus had hit blue states hardest, a national plan was unnecessary and would not make sense politically. “The political folks believed that because it was going to be relegated to Democratic states, that they could blame those governors, and that would be an effective political strategy,” said the expert.

"Show me the science that masks work," Caleb wrote on the City of San Angelo's official Facebook in December 2020. "Show me the evidence that school closures work. Show me the evidence that lock-downs work."

In 2020, Caleb appeared in video interviews with local media outlets denouncing mask policies and school closures at San Angelo ISD.

In 2019, VDARE.com covered Virginia’s dramatic Blue shift as Democrats took over the state assembly in that year’s election. A top priority was changing the state’s laws to allow statue removal. State law previously prevented cities and counties from removing Confederate statues. Democrats in leftist localities seethed at this restriction. And so Democrat Leftist scrapped Lee-Jackson Day, a January holiday that honored Generals Lee and Stonewall Jackson

The descendants of the people who built these monuments are being replaced by interlopers who hate them more than they value economics. Most mainstream political analyses of Virginia’s Blue shift claim that it’s mainly due to white suburbanites fleeing the GOP. That’s true up to a point. But the explanation overlooks that the state has become less white since the days Republicans won state-wide races.

The 2020 Census found that whites were 61.6 percent of the population, blacks were 12 percent, Hispanics nearly 19 percent, and Asians 6 percent. In 2010, non-Hispanic whites were more that 66 percent of the state’s population while Hispanics were just under 8 percent. The last Republican governor, Bob McDonnell, won election just the year before. In 2000, the non-Hispanic white population stood at 71.4 percent, while the Hispanic population counted for just 4.7.

The changes are particularly noticeable in Northern Virginia. In 2000, Fairfax was 64 percent white. But whites are now less than half (47.1 percent) of the county’s population [Fairfax County now Virginia’s second most diverse county, new census data shows, by Matt Blitz, Tysons Reporter, August 13, 2021]. Loudoun County was more than 82 percent white in 2000. Now its white population stands just under 54 percent. Prince William County was 69 percent white in 2000. Now it’s Virginia’s “most diverse” county: 41.7 percent of its population is white. Fairfax is the second-most diverse.

These changes are reflected at the ballot box. In the 2000 presidential election, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William Counties all went for George W. Bush. Up until 2018, Loudoun, part of Virginia’s 10th congressional district, was represented by GOP RINO Rep. Barbara Comstock. Now these counties are solid blue. Joe Biden won all three by lopsided margins[Virginia Election Results 2020 | Live Map Updates | Voting by County & District, January 6, 2021]. In Fairfax, he won more than 70 percent of the vote. He won by nearly 63 percent in Loudoun and Prince William. In 2019’s state election, Democrats ousted Republicans out from the few seats they still held, decisively won previously-competitive seats, and took control of county boards in Loudoun and Prince William [Democrats take control of Va. legislature, 2 DC-area county boards, by Rick Massimo and Max Smith, WTOP, November 6, 2019]. These results gave them the majority in both the Senate and the House of Delegations, allowing them to change the laws to eliminate Virginia’s heritage.

These demographic changes in Northern Virginia are almost entirely due to immigration. The black population has remained relatively stable. But a report published last year found that nearly 46 percent of Northern Virginia’s growth over the last decade was due to immigrants. More than 27 percent of the region’s population is foreign-born [One Region: Welcoming New Americans to Northern Virginia, Partnership for a New American Economy Research Fund, March 2020]. Asians now compose nearly 17 percent of the region’s population. Hispanics count for more than 17 percent in Fairfax County. They were just 11 percent of the county’s population in 2000.

No wonder Northern Virginia rushed to eliminate anything that bore the names of Confederates or “White Supremacists.” They renamed highways and schools honoring Confederate heroes to names celebrating black history. Jefferson Davis Highway became Emancipation Highway [Bill to rename Jefferson Davis Hwy. as Emancipation Hwy. passes, by Don Parker, WJLA, February 25, 2021]. Lee Highway became Langston Boulevard (in honor of the first black congressman from Virginia) [Lee Highway in Arlington County Renamed Langston Boulevard, by Sophia Barnes, NBC Washington, July 17, 2021]. Robert E. Lee High School in Fairfax became John Lewis High School last year [Fairfax County renames Robert E. Lee High for late congressman John Lewis, by Hannah Natanson, The Washington Post, July 23, 2020]. Any trace of the old history had to be gone from the sight of NoVa’s new denizens.

Virginia isn’t the only former Confederate state that will see its entire heritage replaced because of demographic change. Leftists want to destroy Georgia’s incredible Stone Mountain that honors Lee, Davis, and Jackson [Confederate Imagery On Stone Mountain Is Changing, But Not Fast Enough For Some, by Emil Moffat, NPR, June 21, 2021]. In North Carolina, they want to tear down the Tar Heel State’s remaining Confederate landmarks [A new push to remove Confederate monuments from North Carolina courthouses, by Billy Corriher, Facing South, February 23, 2021]. Leftists in Texas want to cancel the Alamo [Alamo renovation gets stuck over arguments about slavery, by Richard Webner, The Washington Post, May 10, 2021].

All three states are a lot less white:

    Georgia went from 65 percent white in 2000 to just 50.1 percent in 2020 [Georgia gets more urban and diverse as white residents dip, by Jeff Amy, The Associated Press, August 12, 2021]. Georgia famously went blue in 2020.
    North Carolina, 72 percent white 21 years ago, now stands at 60.5 [Charlotte grows quickly, but Wake Co. remains most populous, by Bryan Anderson, The Associated Press, August 12, 2021].
    Texas was 52.4 percent non-Hispanic white in 2000. Today, it’s under 40 percent virtually equal to the Hispanic population [People of color make up 95% of Texas’ population growth, by Alex Ura et al., Texas Tribune, August 12, 2021].
